IT Manager

2/23 - New logo for Horizontal with a hiring manager who I've worked with for many years! Sam Endres (https://www.linkedin.com/in/samantha-endres-cpa-inactive-09601816/) was at Central Logic/ABOUT Healthcare as the CFO and was responsible for us making quite a few Direct Hire placements for our team in 2022 - she's now CFO of Macqueen Equipment and looking to replace their IT Manager. This role will report directly to Sam and she is fantastic!

Top "must haves" for this role:

• Infrastructure experience - telephony, hardware/software, security systems/cameras, and ideally database configuration / bandwidth knowledge
• Ability to support a geographically diverse (15 locations) company

They are working towards a hybrid model and would like their IT Manager to be on-site a few days per week at their headquarters - 1125 7th St E, St Paul, MN 55106. There is also a help desk person on this team to help out with daily tasks.

They are hoping to stay around $100-110K since their last IT Manager was at $80K. They can't go above $110-115K.

Salary = $100-110K
